This year will also see the return of Mencap's Big Noise Sessions, which makes its London debut in December, the acts have not yet been announced. Last year's inaugural event saw Coldplay perform a one-off homecoming gig in Exeter all in aid of Mencap.
This spectacular Christmas present comes hot on the heels of the recent announcement of Mencap's Little Noise Sessions. Running over 6 nights, artists including Tom Jones, Paolo Nutini, Hurts, Ellie Goulding, The Kooks, Example, plus many more will be performing acoustic sets at Islington's stunning Union Chapel.
The legendary dance-pop duo will be presenting a one-off UK theatre performance of their 'Pandemonium' show which has toured the world and was a huge hit at this year's Glastonbury Festival and at the O2 Arena last year. They will also be joined by a number of support acts who will be announced in the coming weeks.
Pet Shop Boys comment: We are very happy to support Mencap and look forward to an amazing evening with our last UK Pandemonium show ever.
Mencap ambassador Jo Whiley says, "We are delighted to have such a stellar line up for Mencap's Big Noise Session, as it makes its London debut. Here's to another unbelievable gig, at the same time raising money for a fantastic cause. Join me for a real Christmas treat."
Mark Goldring, Mencap's chief executive, commented, "It is fantastic that the much-loved Big Noise Session is coming to London this year. This gig will not only raise vital funds for Mencap, but it will also help us to raise awareness of learning disability, which is a disability people often find hard to understand. The money raised will help Mencap continue to support thousands of people with a learning disability across the UK."
Tickets are priced at £50 and all proceeds from the night will go to learning disability charity Mencap, they will go on general release on Friday 5th November.

There are 1.5 million people with a learning disability in the UK, who are among the most excluded and disadvantaged people in our society. Money raised at Mencap's Little Noise Sessions will go to Mencap arts awards projects to help people with a learning disability. Mencap directly supports people with a learning disability to live their lives as they choose and challenge prejudice.
